flag U.S. 30-year mortgage rates hold at 6.296% in October 2025, remaining high despite a September Fed rate cut.

flag As of October 13, 2025, the average U.S. 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rate is 6.296%, slightly up from recent days and above 6% despite a Federal Reserve rate cut in September. flag Rates remain elevated compared to pandemic lows, with refinancing most beneficial when borrowers can secure at least a one-percentage-point reduction. flag Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) average 7.16% for five years and 7.66% for seven years, offering lower initial rates but adjustable terms after the fixed period. flag While some borrowers may benefit from refinancing to reduce payments or access equity, approval depends on credit, income, and debt levels. flag Lenders continue to manage risk amid economic uncertainty, and further Fed rate cuts could influence future borrowing costs.
